Ok so here we are at tax time when you should have gotten - or be getting - a W2 from your employer. This document should indeed give you evidence of wages paid to you. Your last year tax return is also good if you do not have your W2 yet. Additionally, if you start the suit you can subpoena pay roll records to help prove your claim. Good luck.
